I am pretty sure because that is how my twins are at the moment that one placenta and two sacs mean identical twins more often than fraternal and more often identical if they are the same sex
Your friend is expecting fraternal twins, which means they developed from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm. In this case, one twin is male and the other is female, sharing one placenta but each having their own amniotic sac. This scenario is not uncommon among twin pregnancies.
Fraternal twins (dizygotic twins) are simply two fertilized eggs that are implanted in the uterus at the same time. Identical twins (monozygotic twins) is one fertilized egg that separates into two embryos. In most cases, identical twins share one placenta, but have separate amniotic sacs. In some cases, they have two placentas. In rare cases, they share both the placenta and the amniotic sac.
Twins who develop in separate amniotic sacs are known as dizygotic or fraternal twins. This means they were conceived from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm cells. Dizygotic twins can have different genetic makeup and are no more similar than siblings born at different times.
Having two amniotic sacs, known as a "double" or "dual" amniotic sac, can occur when a woman is pregnant with multiples (e.g., twins). Each fetus typically develops its own amniotic sac. This situation is more common in dizygotic (fraternal) twins than in monozygotic (identical) twins.
They do look different! Even identical twins, with identical DNA, are different. Most have a slight difference in height and weight. Many people have a difficult time telling them apart because they are focusing on the wrong things. If someone looks only at the hair, they may not see that their faces are slightly different.
It means that the twins share the same placenta but different anemic sacs.
If you mean identical twins, they can be in one sac (1) or each in their own sac (2). As for fraternal twins, they each have their own sacs (2).

Twins with two sacs and one placenta, known as monochorionic diamniotic twins, share a placenta but have separate sacs. This type of twin development carries a higher risk of complications compared to twins with separate placentas, known as dichorionic diamniotic twins. The shared placenta in monochorionic twins can lead to potential issues such as unequal sharing of nutrients and blood flow, which may require closer monitoring and medical intervention during pregnancy.

That depends on the type of twins. Fraternal twins usually have separate amniotic sacs. Identical twins usually share the amniotic sac.
Yes, identical twins can have separate sacs and placentas, which is known as dichorionic-diamniotic twins. This occurs when the fertilized egg splits into two embryos early in development, resulting in each twin having its own sac and placenta.
Having two amniotic sacs, known as a "double" or "dual" amniotic sac, can occur when a woman is pregnant with multiples (e.g., twins). Each fetus typically develops its own amniotic sac. This situation is more common in dizygotic (fraternal) twins than in monozygotic (identical) twins.
The presence of twins in separate sacs but sharing one placenta can impact their development and health during pregnancy because they may be at a higher risk for certain complications such as unequal sharing of nutrients and blood flow. This can lead to differences in growth and development between the twins, potentially affecting their overall health and well-being. Regular monitoring and medical care are important to ensure the best possible outcomes for both twins.
It can be either. Sometimes they are in their own individual sac, and in other instances they share one amniotic sac.
Yes, it is common for twins to have two separate sacs in a pregnancy, known as dichorionic diamniotic twins.
